[ale] OT: Cisco2900 Failure

[Benjie]

And your question is?  I have several low end catalysts that have
failed in the same manner.  Do you need more than 10/100, and/or are
tied to IOS?  If not, you can pick up new dlink, linksys, dell managed
switches for less than $1000, and they all do 802.1q well.  Or you can
shop ebay grab a 2950 for ~$300 or less.  Maybe craigslist.  I don't
know of any local re-sellers that will put you in a working used 2900
for less than $800.

"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are
far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking
in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and
ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never
explore the insides of their head like a drunk does."  -- Shane
